Brief Answer:
yeast infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and I have viewed the Image.

You seem to have a yeast/ candida infection of the penis. It presents as red papules and cracking of the prepuce. I suggest you to use a topical antifungal cream e.g either clotrimazole 1% cream with beclomethasone dipropionate 0.025% or hydrocortisone 1% (lotrimin plus), twice a day for a week. It is an OTC product which you can get from a drug store.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
